NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The National Science Foundation 'Back to the Future' Research Experience for Undergraduates Site at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology will expose a diverse group of undergraduate students, including Native American students and women, to the research environment and to help them develop as professionals. The focus of the student research is the study of metals and metal production, an area of vital technological importance to national interest in areas of defense, manufacturing, resource utilization, and energy. Students will also participate in research projects with the National Park Service focused on the preservation and analysis of historical artifacts as well as activities that highlight the importance of metals throughout history, hence, the 'Back to the Future' theme. This context will give students a broader appreciation for the nature of current and future research as well as the impact of engineering in society. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The REU Site: Back to the Future at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is a 10-week summer project that will provide research opportunities in metallurgical and materials engineering that enhance the global competitiveness of the nation in the areas of advanced materials and manufacturing, mineral beneficiation and resource recovery, strategic metals, and energy-efficient materials. The project will address challenges faced by future engineers by providing a research experience within a unique cultural and holistic framework. This framework will be provided by teaming with the National Parks Service on research that has historical significance and innovative activities led by faculty from engineering, science and the humanities that explore the interface between engineering, history, and art (the Back to the Future theme). Students will participate in an integrated supplemental training program that nurtures their research skills and career development. This program includes advanced technical communications training, workshops and seminars to give historical context for current trends in research, as well as activities that connect students to each other and the community. The diverse nature of program activities will attract students of varied background and intellectual typology. The Site will provide opportunities for underserved students in engineering with an emphasis on two-year community and Tribal Colleges from the region. The site will also strengthen ongoing Native American NSF initiatives in the region including All Nations Louis Stokes, Tiospaye, and the Oglala Lakota College / South Dakota State University / South Dakota School of Mines Pre-Engineering Education Collaborative (OSSPEC). This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术描述：位于南达科他州矿业与技术学院的国家科学基金会本科生研究体验网站将向包括美国原住民学生和女性在内的不同本科生群体展示研究环境，并帮助他们发展为专业人士。学生研究的重点是金属和金属生产，这是一个在国防、制造、资源利用和能源领域对国家利益具有至关重要的技术重要性的领域。学生们还将参与国家公园管理局的研究项目，重点是历史文物的保存和分析，以及突出金属在整个历史中的重要性的活动，因此主题为“回到未来”。这一背景将使学生对当前和未来研究的性质以及工程学在社会中的影响有更广泛的理解。技术描述：南达科他州矿业与技术学院的REU网站：回到未来是一个为期10周的暑期项目，将提供冶金和材料工程方面的研究机会，以提高美国在先进材料和制造、矿物选矿和资源回收、战略金属和节能材料领域的全球竞争力。该项目将通过在独特的文化和整体框架内提供研究经验来应对未来工程师面临的挑战。这一框架将通过与国家公园管理局合作进行具有历史意义的研究和创新活动来提供，这些研究和创新活动由来自工程、科学和人文学科的教师领导，探索工程、历史和艺术之间的联系(回到未来主题)。学生将参加一个综合的补充培训计划，以培养他们的研究技能和职业发展。该计划包括高级技术交流培训、研讨会和研讨会，为当前研究趋势提供历史背景，以及将学生与彼此和社区联系起来的活动。项目活动的多样性将吸引不同背景和智力类型的学生。该网站将为缺乏服务的工程学学生提供机会，重点是该地区的两年制社区和部落学院。该网站还将加强该地区正在进行的美洲原住民NSF倡议，包括All Nations Louis Stokes、Tiospaye和Oglala Lakota College/南达科他州立大学/南达科他州矿业学院工程前教育合作(OSSPEC)。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
